I wouldn’t grab a straw Ellers
The individuals you are always keen to pick up on will be gone.
If you seriously believe the Tories will somehow revolutionise politics overnight and look after the North etc then I am afraid I think you are wrong.
It will be interesting to see what policies the Brexit Party come up with for sure ... I keep an open mind on that as we haven’t seen any yet ! They are too focused on blaming all things away from ourselves imo
Let’s wait until the substance I say .

Corbyn hasn’t played his hand at all I agree on that but I don’t think anyone can say he hasn’t the people at heart. His he a prime minister I am not sure but I still admire his approach

Now we come to the Lib Dems who have grown in just 3 months to become a real possibility to upset the whole thing as predicted by me on here. No longer a wasted vote imo plus as a young woman she may just appeal to the younger voters and finally kill off the last of our ****ty generation that have ruined the UK ourselves

Time to cull the blue flock

And I will state if it does all go your way and people like you win then congratulations on your victory on a new UK. Personally I predict a mess for a minimum of 10 years as politics completely changes in the UK

We had our time and frankly we was useless

I have to say that there is a small part of me that would like to see these turkeys in the worst parts of the country vote for their Christmas but then I remember I’m not that much of a **** and they’d only blame Corbyn and immigrants anyway.

Don’t worry Watford many of these crap MPs won’t be coming back. However the smooth talking Chukka has managed to leave his strong Labour seat (I wonder why)? And move to an easier seat. Limps seem to be doing this quite a bit. Very democratic?
 
On a serious note....
When does the media need to stop talking about the election? Is it only on the day of voting or before?

I've met @LondonFire & @LondonFBU.
I am reassured race played no part in their response to the Grenfell Tower fire.
Learning about the conditions firefighters faced that night has been insightful, apologies for any upset caused.
I'm confident how valued equality is to LFB & FBU

Took her time, my local fire station has a very diverse staff and I'm sure most inner London stations do as well. How she could make such an accusation beggars belief...

Amber Rudd gone. Extreme Remainer politicians are beginning to realise they need to find another occupation. I could see Anna Soubry as a psychiatric nurse at Broadmoor.

Is there even such thing as an “extreme Remainer”? It’s kind of any oxymoron.

I’m not sure how it can be a good thing overall to artificially try and force a full-blown Brextard Parliament.

An extreme Remainer is someone who supported Remain in the 2016 referendum and has never accepted the result. The Lib Dems are extreme Remainers because they want to revoke Article 50. Rudd really never has accepted the vote. So off she toddles. I see another extreme Remainer is also going. Owen Jones, Labour. Good riddance.

No one should accept it given the level of foreign meddling and outright unaccountable lies told but I appreciate it would be a waste of time for both of us to cover old ground.

Yes, let's not revisit that. Hard Remainers are falling away. Brexit will get its chance. The UK will build a new relationship with the EU.

In the event of getting a majority which would be an increase of over 300 MPs and thus the biggest political upset in history and a clear mandate that Brexit is more than a bit ****.

Watford you know the Limps will sell out to anyone to get power.... ask Clegg.
Famous saying about the the Limps in that their policy changes from one end of the street to the other. It does make me laugh how they were worried about students the other day. Especially after they f@@@ed them over.
My only fear for Tories is if the Brexit party splits the vote, however I think they will do some deal that we will not be privy too.

Our system is such that the third party has no real chance of ever governing as anything but a small part of a coalition. The revoke policy would require them to be the biggest party which is almost impossible and if it somehow happened no one could say they didn’t have a mandate for it.

They sold out to the Tories but I’m not sure what choice they had given our system. All they seemed to get out of it was a load of lost seats and being blamed for the usual Tory messes.
